In 1954, the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka advanced the civil rights movement by “declaring that racial segregation in public schools violated the 14th amendment”.
OVERVIEW
- Despite the claim that black schools were equal to white schools, schools for black children frequently lacked even basic necessities. In 1950s America segregation was largely, though not exclusively, a southern practice. Every state in the South mandated school segregation, and ten other states outside of the South either permitted or required segregation in public schools.
- In Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), unanimous Supreme Court declared that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional.
- After the court declared this “separate” educational facility as “inherently unequal”, the nation was electrified and this remained like a landmark in legal history and a milestone in civil rights history.
